After successfully cloaking a short event in time during his Post Doc, Dr. Moti Fridman is using temporal optics to develop advanced temporal technologies.

Dr. Gur Yaari of the Faculty of Engineering is one of four BIU scientists to be chosen as member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities’ Young Researchers Forum. The forum elects Israel’s outstanding young researchers in natural sciences to engage in scientific discussions of cutting-edge research in the selected field.

Bar Ilan University (BIU) is proud to announce that its humanoid soccer  team has qualified for the 2017 RoboCup finals in Japan, which will  take place July 27-31. Our team is made up of new custom-built  humanoid robot players, with a student programming team. This advanced  team of  humanoid  players shows the convergence of Sciences and Engineering at BIU,  with contributions from Dr. Eli Kolberg of the Faculty of Engineering,  and Prof. Gal Kaminka of the Computer Science Department in the  Faculty of Natural Sciences. The team will be lead to Japan by  Dr. Kolberg and support staff

Dr. Raj Kumar, a postdoc in Prof. Orit Shefi's lab, earned the VATAT (PBC) Fellowship for outstanding postdoctoral researchers from China and India.

Professor Sharon Gannot and his team address this classic problem in the field of signal processing, by methods of manifold learning

Or Adiv, currently studying for his Bachelor's degree, explains why the analog team at the network and telecommunication company in which he works is comprised of Bar Ilan University students only.

Professor Alex Fish talks about how the Faculty of Engineering has become a hub of activity in the field of chip technology.

What is the connection between a computational physicist in the Faculty of Engineering, to a laboratory that deals with experimental biology? Dr. Tomer Kalisky implements techniques for collecting and analyzing big data in the field of cancer research.

Undecided about whether to go into industry or remain in the academic world? An abundance of scholarships and grants are available for outstanding advanced degree students. Robert Giterman, a doctoral student in Nanotechnology at Bar Ilan University's Faculty of Engineering, has won three scholarships in recent years.

The Faculty of Engineering held its first, unique summer course in Nanophotonics last June, in which approximately thirty Chinese students participated. The ultimate goal, says Prof. Dror Fixler, is to become an international Faculty and to attract the best students, not only from China but from all over the world.

Bioengineering research can promote the development of technologies for treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. In the Faculty of Engineering and Brain Research laboratories, PhD student Oshra Betzer is currently developing innovative technologies based on nanoparticles for treatment of depression and addiction.

Computational biology, which analyzes multiple DNA segments using computational tools from the field of big data, allows Dr. Gur Yaari to search for treatments for diseases such as celiac, hepatitis type C, multiple sclerosis, and cancer.

If you, or one of those dear to you, is taken to the hospital with chest pain, what you would want the hospital to have at hand is the novel technology for identifying heart attacks, developed by Dr. Amos Danielli of the Faculty of Engineering.

Researchers from Bar Ilan University have developed a novel chemical sensory method, based on optical fibers that use internally contained light to create external sound waves, and thus receive indirect information on the surrounding environment. This new method can improve the sensory abilities of a wide variety of applications, including industrial processes, and remote detection of chemicals.

Cancer immunotherapy is a general term for clinical methods that seek to boost the body’s innate ability to target and destroy tumors. But while this approach – first explored over a century ago – has become the basis of a number of successful treatments, scientists have never been able to directly observe this success in action. Now, doctoral student Rinat Meir has changed all that, by demonstrating a new method for tracking the activity of cancer-specific T-cells in an animal model.
